theres areas of large sand beaches slong the mississippi right by saint louis, to say nothing of the entire river. i can’t comment on the ohio because i don’t know it the same way…the missouri river has a pretty big muzzle on it as it is naturally a braided, shallow stream back to the rockies but has huge amount of modification considering its low amount of traffic.

East St. Louis has some good buildings as well, and some much taller than I would've expected. I knew it was bombed out, but figured it was all lowrise commercial buildings and houses, more like Gary.

Interesting with the floors intact in Cairo.

This is a question for anyone: are there places along the Mississippi River where the riverbank is completely natural? So no levee, and no concrete embankment, and no stones to prevent erosion? The Mississippi and Ohio Rivers seem to be cultivated and channeled just about everywhere.

the above explanation was meant for you, lol.

A wonderful week-long meander, thank you for sharing! Cairo coverage was especially interesting.

Captivating journey man all around I was really drawn in by by the Gem in Cario especially that chimera tree
